I previously blogged about Intellij and how to use it to remote debug flex applications.

Not I am changing some of the IDEs settings

Setting utf-8 encoding of files

Now I need to be able to add some other swc files to the path

File->Project Structure

select your Flex module

select the Dependencies tab (A) and click "Add" - then navigate to the additional swc files

After finding this blog entry,  I increase the amount of memory available to the Intellij application

/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 9.0M1.app/Contents/Info.plist file under your Mac OS X. You have to change the VMOptions key:

VMOptions
-Xms64m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xbootclasspath/a:../lib/boot.jar -ea

This is a useful how to on setting up a flex unit project

After finding this blog entry and this one I figured out how to compile the swf from the command line

mxmlc compiler options are numerous and can be found here


method not implemented mx.core::IFlexModuleFactory/mx.core:IFlexModuleFactory::allowInsecureDomain()

This error was caused by me compiling against flex sdk 3.4.0 and I actually needed flex sdk 3.2.0

Some interesting tools - to avoid and monitor caching of the swf - JonnyCache and this actionscipt code allows you to see the swf compilation date
